Temple Beth Torah Rabbi Lisa Hochberg-Miller has said the synagogue has extensive security measures, including cameras, that have been in place since a shooting at a Jewish daycare in Los Angeles in 1999.

In a conversation with The Star after the October shooting deaths of 11 people in a Jewish synagogue in Pittsburgh by an allegedly anti-Semitic man, Hochberg-Miller said the facility was continuously looking at ways to beef up its security.

Over the past couple of years, there have been several reported cases of hate incidents in Ventura County.

That includes one that took place over Memorial Day weekend in the Dos Vientos neighborhood of Newbury Park. In that one, swastikas and “Heil Hitler” were spray-painted at a public park and near an elementary school.

In 2017, someone played a speech by Hitler over the speaker system at the Newbury Park High School football stadium.

And at least two students from Thousand Oaks and Westlake high schools were part of a video posted to Twitter that showed a car driving down a street and the occupants yelling racial slurs against African-Americans.

That followed an incident at Nordhoff High School in Ojai, where three baseball players were kicked off the team and their coach resigned after the trio used their team jerseys to spell out a racial slur.

That came after at least one member of the Simi Valley High School junior varsity boys volleyball team shouted “build a wall” during a varsity match at the predominantly Latino school Pacifica High in Oxnard.

Two months earlier, two Buena High School students sent a racist tweet depicting two black men who had been lynched.

According to the Anti-Defamation League’s annual audit of anti-Semitic incidents in the U.S., there was a 57 percent increase in the number of hate incidents in 2017 compared to the previous year, the largest increase in the organization’s history.

The ADL, an international Jewish nonprofit that tracks hate crimes and extremist groups, reported five hate incidents within Ventura County in the first six months of 2018.
